...dancer of a wholly different mold. In the title role of Giselle last week, she was all gossamer and grace, a supremely lyrical figure with feathery leaps and arms like ribbons floating in the breeze. Her total involvement, wonderfully reflected in an oval face graced with large, waiflike eyes, lent a touching poignancy to the old story of young love gone astray...
Malcolm Little came to Boston from Mason, Michigan, in 1941 to live with his aunt in Roxbury. Within a few months he had picked up the adornments that lent to ghetto negroes a kind of status he had never known in Michigan.

Dubinsky's hand-picked successor is the union's secretary-treasurer: quietly efficient Louis Stulberg, 64, a Polish-born ex-cutter, whose main job has been overseeing the union's business empire...
